Which U.S. and New York Yankee baseball player was nicknamed "The Iron Horse"?

The disease did not define the man!

Old black and white movie "the pride of the Yankees" is a great film based on his life. How he met his wife, took care of his mother and faced tragedy with dignity and grace. Back when athletes were ACTUALLY role models. Well worth a couple hours.

A great question but as the “Iron Man” they didn’t even list the number of consecutive games that he played in which is 2130.

No mention of the disease commonly named for him?

Also hit 23 grand slams, the most by anyone

CharlieHustle, I recently viewed thr film and it was terrific

Yah0odee, Never knew of his nickname just of wonderful life cut short by a horrible disease!

Player #18444931, I believe the Iron Man is Cal Ripken.

I thought he was known as the "iron man" not "iron horse".
